The Klamath River has long been a source of nourishment for the Northern #California tribes that live on its banks. But its once-abundant salmon runs have declined to historic lows, the culmination of 100 years of development and dam building along the river. At the same time, a crisis of opioid addiction is gripping the region. As a result, many members of the Yurok, Karuk and Hoopa tribes here see a connection between the river’s struggle and their own. “It’s no coincidence to me that this opioid problem and the river crisis are happening at the same time; when that resource is gone, it leads to a sense of despair,” said Amy Cordalis, the Yurok tribe’s general counsel, who is pictured in the second photo. Without #salmon in the region, families risk hunger and destitution. At the same time, a surge of heroin has intensified problems with opioid addiction that first began with painkillers in the early 2000s. Nationally, Native Americans are the hardest-hit demographic in this overdose death epidemic. Between 1999 and 2015, there was a 519% increase in the number of overdose deaths among rural Native Americans. And along this river, the effects of heroin — and meth before it — have seeped into every aspect of life.
